Business For Creatives
In this online class you’ll learn, step by step, how I’ve grown and currently run my creative business and life as a full-time artist.
While I reached the celebrated six figures a year in my third year of business, this is not a class on how to get rich quick or be super scheme-y and slimey about it all. This is a course about finding ways to naturally sell your art and share your passion with others so you can grow your creative business in a way that allows you the time and freedom to create a life you love!
There’s Lifetime Access to the classroom and community along with downloadable videos, podcasts and cheat sheets, so you can go at your own pace and you don’t need to worry if you fall behind, there’s always plenty of time.
My Story
For years, I stopped painting. Art was the thing I loved to do growing up and in high school, but I didn’t know how to make money from being creative. All of my early work ended up in the basement or trash. I felt like my creativity didn’t matter.
I went to college to study biology, but I couldn’t stay away from the art room. When I graduated, I went to work as an arts journalist, writing about the arts for newspapers and magazines. It took many different jobs as a journalist, photographer, graphic designer, gallery assistant, floral designer, website developer and more before I finally realized the only thing I could put my heart into was being a full-time artist. Still, having all of those jobs – which seemed like mistakes and hurdles at the time – helped me learn how to grow and run my creative business.
But at the time I’d no idea how to make that leap.
Then in 2009 I lost my job. To heal my spirit, I started painting again. As friends stopped by and saw my work, they encouraged me to have a local show. I asked at the library and in a few months hung my paintings and hosted an opening. I began selling my artwork, prints and cards to friends and family. I started a facebook page, twitter account and blog. I felt like there was no way anyone I didn’t know would ever purchase my paintings. I began reaching out to other artists and makers and in 2011 I submitted my artwork to a magazine and launched my first online class, How To Paint An Owl.
Now I’ve been a successful, full-time artist for over twelve years and in my third year I reached the celebrated six figures a year.
I’ve built my creative career around following my heart and focusing on what I enjoy doing most, which has led to thousands of collectors, customers and students around the world, press in publications like Glamour Magazine, Somerset Studio and Oprah.com, being published in multiple books, having five books of my own on Amazon, launching eighteen online classes, opportunities to teach in-person and sales of originals, prints, cards, calendars, books and more in galleries and shops around the world.
Most importantly, I’ve built a lifestyle I love that allows me the freedom to travel, paint, write and share my passion with you. This is something I never thought possible and I wish for you to live your dreams too.
With love and gratitude,

Business For Creatives really helped me to focus on what my work is all about and my vision of where I’m going. There’s also really useful info about setting up your website and the ins and outs of products, how to create them, pricing etc.
"Business For Creatives has been invaluable to me, and I would recommend it for anyone that wants to be in the business of creativity. This course was worth every penny for the time it will save me. "

The goal for this class is to propel you forward, so you stop feeling stuck and start feeling confident.
Whether you’re new to selling your art or looking to grow, this class will help you figure out how to market your work effectively and organically, so you can get more exposure and sell more art.
I’ve learned to create clear, loving boundaries for myself and I’m sharing all of my secrets and strategies to help you move forward – that means I’m revealing the highs and lows of running my business, my successes and failures and step by step instruction so you can get started and feel encouraged, focused and motivated along the way.
By far, owning my own business has been the hardest I’ve ever worked, but it has been so rewarding to have the opportunity to inspire others around the world and live a life where I feel I’m fulfilled and making a difference.
What I love about this course is that every lesson is available as an off download as well as all of the videos and podcasts. So even if you don’t have time to do them as each lesson is released you can download them and do them in your own time!
What Will I Learn?
This is the advice and roadmap I wish someone had given me when I started my business for my art.
I’m sharing all of the successes, mistakes and lessons I’ve learned as a professional artist to make things easier for you. You’ll get the resources and tools you need to feel focused and organized so you can move forward, stay motivated and take your next step.
My husband, Brian Knapp of HumanITy, is also my IT guru, so he’ll also be stepping in throughout class to share step by step video instruction, resources and lessons on his technology expertise.
Selling what you create doesn’t need to feel impossible or overwhelming, sharing your art is a service. I’ll teach you ways to do this naturally, so you can transition into a full time creative career and have more time and energy to make your art.
My hope is that this course will save you a ton of time, money and frustration, so you can get started, know what to expect and see what steps to take along the way.
